that's not nearly enough for rodgers, imo. I don't value QBs too highly but that's still way too low I think. If you really want woodhead and nicks I'd ask for stafford back too.

or maybe cobb instead of nicks since that's his #3

Agreed. If you really want to dump Rodgers you need to get more for him than a handful of scrubs. Cobb at the very least.

Didn't think woodhead was considered a scrub in PPR. He's got a ton of catches every week but it's a point well taken with the other two. I'm just wondering if he'll turn it down because he doesn't value Rodgers THAT much more than stafford.

Eh, I disagree. But with Ingram coming back, Sproles' value does slide down.

Sproles and woodhead are great for ppr. As they can get pretty high in rankings. They normally get like 5 catches, which is like an extra td. And with leagues that counting kick return sproles has another advantage.

They don't use them as a true rb. Ingram and etc were there last year. Sproles still got his. I think his value doesn't drop with Ingram back or not. He will get his.

Yeah, I get the PPR side of things. I just see woodhead as a guy that will eventually get schemed against by defenses and not somebody you'd rely on weekly. I'm sure you can get more value for Rodgers than that.

Need to scoop up a Week 7 QB since Bree's is on bye. Really want Pryor since he's available, but he's on bye too.

Week 7 matchups and QB choices are:

Hoyer = Browns @ Green Bay

Tannehill = Bills @ Miami

Flacco = Ravens @ Pittsburgh

Roethlisberger = Ravens @ Pittsburgh

E. Manning = Vikings @ NY

Bradford = Rams @ Panthers

Dalton = Bengals @ Lions

and there's Schaub (ugh), Texans @ Cheifs

Long term thoughs on Andre Johnson vs Cobb? Cobb's got an easier matchup next week and a better QB but Andre is pretty much the clear cut #1 in Houston. In a PPR

I didn't mean slides drastically, but it does decline. Either way, I dig Sproles. My gf won't break off in trade for him. She was all down on him before that last game of his, and my dumb ass told her he's worth holding on to. Now she's starting him against me this week!

As for Ingram being benched, Slayer...maybe? I dunno. Haven't kept up on him. I just remembered hearing or reading that he'd be back soon.

Was thinking of asking for Woodhead + Nicks for Rodgers.

wwwhhhhaaaattttttt

So far this year, in my league Rodgers averages 42% more points than both Woodhead & Nicks combined.

I'd be willing to bet that this margin decreases a bit once Nicks stops sucking so much, but it still will not even be close. I think Woodhead will be solid, but come on.

cant believe I'm about to say this, but

Hoyer may be the best choice there

Just offered this trade today, because my team sucks donkeyholes:

I give up:

P Manning
Deangelo Williams

I get:

M Lynch
Dwayne Bowe

I have Rivers to fill in for Manning.
My RBs: CJ Spiller (LOL) and D Williams;
WO: Andre Johnson (made of tinker toys) and James Jones.

He has Stafford (not too shabby, but Manning is a real improvement) and Reggie Bush to fill in for Lynch.


...Am I insane?

basically, my team outside of Manning is mostly donuts each week, so something has to happen.

Any better WR options than Bowe?

Ouch. I'd say you're giving up a lot and could get more, Bowe is WR3 at best. There's got to be some waiver pick ups that can help? The way rivers is playing you could ride him.

His other WR is Mike Williams and so both WR are in questionable situations with their team prospects right now.

Honestly, I was afraid of asking "too much," even with PFM in the offer. He's got Vernon Davis and I've got Owen Daniels; but that is almost a push at the moment, even though Daniels figures to get less and less attention.

But the reason for dumping D Williams right now is that he figures to become irrelevant very soon.

Manning should get you a solid WR1 and RB2 two for one IMHO. Some folks are really into QBs so target one that has a lower end one or a bye coming up or deep bench at RB.

The owner stacked at RB or WR likely has a lower end QB, go find him and/or go back to your draft results to target.
